It's very difficult to do many things when it's dark. The places you can see are getting closer and closer. In the end, your eyes are completely black and you can't see anything.
Lidong wiped the fire several times, but it was still pitch black in front of him and he couldn't see the end. Chen Xiaobei finally stopped and said, "Brother Lidong, we can't go any further. We have no choice, so we have to go back."
"Go back?" Lidong was stunned for a moment, "What if those people discover us, wouldn't it be..."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "I figured it out. Let's go back now and pretend that we have entered the mountain and are about to go down. Their leader knows me and may let us go."
"To take a step back, even if he doesn't let us go, I can always remind Sun Jian in advance when Hong Yu comes."
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's analysis, Lidong nodded.
"What you said makes sense. Let's go back now."
Chen Xiaobei's worry was not unreasonable. At this time, Cui Hongyu was really starting to get anxious at home.
Chen Xiaobei has never gone back so late when he went up the mountain. Did he encounter another accident? After all, there are wolves on Qingniu Mountain.
Even Chen Qiaoer was a little anxious. She took Cui Hongyu's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, when will brother come back?"
After thinking for a while, Cui Hongyu brought Chen Qiaoer to find Chen Dayong.
After listening to Cui Hongyu's briefing, Chen Dayong patted his chest and said, "Hongyu, don't worry, I will organize the manpower and prepare to go up the mountain."
After saying that, he turned around and went to summon the village guards.
Cui Hongyu thought for a while and spoke again, "Brother Dayong, I still have eight serial crossbows at home. You can bring them with you when the time comes."
At this moment, someone had already entered the mountain in advance.
Laldo, Yang Zhi, Latour and others, led by a young man, bypassed Hetou Village and quietly entered the mountains.
They entered the mountain at night, and they came in blatantly with a torch. Perhaps in their eyes, this visit to Qingniu Mountain was just like traveling.
As he walked, Yang Zhi looked around cautiously.
Seeing his expression, Raldo couldn't help but smile.
"Second brother, you don't have to be so nervous, just relax."
The young man who was leading the way at the front smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone, we have definite news. The other party won't be here until tomorrow at the earliest, so you can go boldly."
Hearing these words, Latour showed a sinister smile.
Soon, everyone arrived at the mountain temple.
Latour suddenly said, "Brother, let's rest here first." After saying that, he sat down directly.
After thinking about it, Raldo was not in a hurry anyway, "Okay, let's take a rest first." After that, he turned to the young man leading the way and asked, "How far is it?"
The young man smiled slightly and said, "There are still more than ten miles to go, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
While everyone was resting, Yang Zhi still held the torch and walked carefully around the mountain temple, and his eyes fell on the pile of wooden sticks and rubble left by Chen Xiaobei.
It was obvious that this was a human trace, and Yang Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
He came to Raldo again and whispered: "Brother, someone seems to have been here."
Laldo smiled and handed over the water bag, "Brother, didn't you listen to the guide? The opponent will not come until tomorrow. I think it is probably the traces left by the villagers."
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Yang Zhi could only turn around and leave angrily. He came to the two young men and lowered his voice and whispered, "Second, second and third, you two will follow me closely in a moment."
These two people are his brothers, one is named Yang Yuan and the other is named Yang Bo.
"Brother, is there something wrong?" Yang Yuan asked.
"Yes, I just walked around and someone came here and left traces on purpose."
"Brothers, my eyelids keep twitching all the time. We must be careful later."
After a short rest, Laldo gathered his men and prepared to continue walking up.
At this time, Yang Zhi came to his side again and advised, "Brother, just in case, let's put out a few torches and leave only the guide in front."
Lardo thought about it for a while and finally agreed.
Fortunately, Yang Zhi's advice changed everyone's fate to a certain extent.
At this time, Latour, Batu and others deliberately dilly-dallyed and fell at the end.
This was a slightly abnormal move, but neither Yang Zhi nor Raldo noticed it at first.
Soon Sun Jian and others on the mountain got the news.
Sure enough, he went up the mountain on time. Sun Jian couldn't help but let out a cold snort, and it was delivered to his door. So don't blame me for being rude.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Raldo, Yang Zhi and others walked into the ambush.
Sun Gui led his men to ambush behind a small steep slope in front of the mountain road.
Seeing Raldo and the others coming over, this kid was really worried.
He couldn't wait to raise his crossbow, aimed at the guide holding a torch in front of him, and fired two arrows.
Yang Zhi, who was as careful as his hair, was walking forward when he heard a low firing sound in his ears. Then he saw the guide in front of him swayed and let out a scream. He let go of his hand and the torch fell.
Yang Zhi secretly thought that something was wrong, and indeed there was something wrong.
Taking advantage of the moment when the torch fell, he quickly looked around to check the surrounding terrain.
There is a cliff on the left and there seems to be a road on the right.
When he thought of this, Yang Zhi squatted down quickly, took a step forward, picked up the torch and threw it hard down the cliff.
The scene instantly fell into darkness.
Sun Gui obviously didn't expect that Yang Zhi would do something like this.
The light from the torch suddenly moves rapidly, and there will be a moment of discomfort.
Everyone around Sun Gui subconsciously stopped moving.
In this flash of lightning, Yang Zhi grabbed the arms of the two Yang brothers and hurriedly walked towards the right side. He had already seen clearly that there was a small path here.
Only then did Sun Gui come back to his senses and shouted, "Quick, shoot the arrow."
There was a muffled sound of popping, popping, which was the sound of a serial crossbow hitting the human body.
Laldo lay on the ground and shouted loudly, "Second Brother, Second Brother, get out of here!"
"Third brother, get out of here."
Before the shouting ended, several strange noises were heard.
Then, streams of white smoke filled the scene.
Laldo secretly thought it was not good, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, rolled his body on the ground a few times, and came to the edge of the cliff.
Without saying anything, he jumped down.
Latour was already at the end, but when he heard a fight broke out in front of him, he waved to Batu and ran back without saying a word.
Yang Zhi led Yang Bo and Yang Yuan to retreat to the woods along the path, but was caught in the dark by the men in black in the woods.
When the three of them approached, a bright light was suddenly thrown out from the woods. Yang Yuan, who was walking at the front, was stunned by the sudden light.
Before he could come to his senses, there were two sounds of "puchi, puchi", and two arrows had already penetrated into his body. Puchi, Yang Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this situation, Yang Zhi's heart tightened. He didn't expect that there was an ambush here.
But now, he has no choice. He believes that since there is an ambush here, someone must cut off their retreat, so it is unwise to retreat down the mountain.
